(June 06, 2005)

Doremi Labs is pleased to announce that eight movie theaters nationwide have installed Doremi's DCP-2 digital cinema server. The installations were completed in time for the debut of the new "Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" and "Madagascar" movies.

The DCP-2 is a MXF-Interop compatible MPEG-2 digital cinema server. For DreamWorks' Madagascar movie the DCP-2 is playing a movie file produced by Doremi Labs' ORCA-CS HD-MPEG2 mastering station.

The DCP-2 server is capable of playing MXF-Interop MPEG-2 movies at up to 80Mbits/sec. The server can also play pre-show content at a lower resolution and bit rate. The DCP-2 features up to 400GBytes of RAID1 storage in a 3RU chassis.

The ORCA-CS is an HD MPEG2 mastering station. It encodes HD-SDI to HD MPEG2 at up to 160Mbits/sec direct to the system's hard drive. The encoding process can be previewed live or played back at a later time. The ORCA CS is the first product to combine all the tools for real-time HD MPEG2 processing in one package.

The eight permanent installations of the DCP-2 are at movie theaters in New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington.
